Cruise favourite Jane McDonald is chartering her own ship for fans to join her on a voyage next year.

The itinerary, Sail Away with Jane McDonald, will see the Cruising with Jane McDonald star charter Royal Caribbean’s Anthem of the Seas in September 2020 on a Southampton round-trip visiting Cherbourg, Vigo and Lisbon.

Guests can book their cabin by accessing the exclusive online pre-sale here from 10am on Saturday (28 June).

McDonald said: “I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am to be having my own special cruise. As everyone knows, I’m just a true Yorkshire lass who loves performing and enjoying a cruise or two, so it makes perfect sense to charter my own ship.

“This is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time so to finally have the opportunity to invite everyone to come on holiday with me is very exciting. We’ll have a whale of a time and I can’t wait to see everyone there.”

Sail Away with Jane McDonald departs Southampton on 20 September 2020. Passengers will enjoy full board dining and features such as the Bionic Bar, where guests can order cocktails mixed by robots, and the FlowRider surf simulator. There is also the signature Royal Caribbean Rock Wall, SeaPlex – the largest indoor active space at sea – and RipCord by Ifly, which is the first skydiving experience at sea.
